Sodium benzoate is used in the food industry as a preservative. It can be made by reacting benzoic acid with a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate. 2C6H5COOH + Na2CO3 2C6H5COONa + CO2 + H2O GEM = 122g GEM =1069 GEM 144g Sodium Benzoate GEM =44g GEM = 18g a. Calculate the atom economy for the production of sodium benzoate. Show your working clearly Sodium benzoate can also be made by reacting benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide C6H5COOH + NaOH Benzoic Acid C6H5COONa + 2H2O Sodium Benzoate When 2.44 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess sodium hydroxide, 2.16 g (actual yield) of sodium benzoate was produced Calculate the theoretical yield of sodium benzoate produced Show your working clearly Calculate the percentage yield of sodium benzoate. Show your working clearly.
